Lip Swelling: Ice is considered as the best methods used for healing lip piercing. You can place an ice pack directly on the swollen area for some time and repeat this for a couple of times to get rid of the swelling. You can also suck on a fresh popsicle (made from mineral and pure water) to create the same effect as that of the ice pack.
